Can't ChatGPT or Claude do this?
ChatGPT and Claude both have memory features now, and they are useful for personal facts and ongoing chats. Edessa is different in two ways. It captures whole workflows: hit record and narrate a task, and Edessa turns the recording into a reusable workflow you or your AI can run again with one click. That is something chat memory does not do. Your workflows are also portable: build once in Edessa, then use it in any of the 35+ AI tools that support Skills, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and Copilot.
What can I use Edessa for?
Three jobs. Give your AI the context it needs, because the knowledge that makes AI useful is stuck in people’s heads and Edessa captures it and exports it as a Skill you can use in Claude, ChatGPT or any AI tool. Document how your business works, for onboarding, standardization and freeing up bottlenecks. Make your best work repeatable, by capturing how your best people work once so it becomes the standard your whole team and every new hire can follow.
Does Edessa work with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the AI tools I already use?
Yes. Every workflow exports as a portable AI Skill, a small bundle of files your AI tool can read, that works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Copilot, Codex, Goose, Gemini CLI and dozens of other agentskills.io-compatible tools, 35+ in total. Build the foundation once in Edessa, then plug it into whichever AI you actually use.
Is this for solo operators, or just teams?
Both. It works solo and still fits your first hire or VA. Solo operators use Edessa for a workspace their AI tools actually remember, lead magnets to share with their audience, and a way to hand off work when they hire help.
How quickly can I get started?
Record your first workflow in under 5 minutes. Sign up, start your free trial, and hit record. Edessa writes the first draft while you work.
Is my data safe? Can I export everything if I leave?
Yes. Workflows are yours. You can export every one as a portable AI Skill any time. We do not lock you in.
What if I change my mind?
Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial, so you will not be charged until you have had a real chance to use it. If it is not for you, cancel anytime from your billing settings.
Who built Edessa?
Thaddeus Demeke, Founder of Elevaite. He spent five years at Genentech, most recently as a Senior Data Scientist, and has built AI systems inside small businesses across agencies, home health, real estate and professional services. That hands-on work shaped how Edessa works.
What does Edessa cost?
Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial and can be cancelled at any time from billing settings. Founding Member pricing is $5 a month, held for the life of the subscription, and is capped at the first 100 workspaces. The Team plan is $99 a month for up to 10 teammates. Current pricing is always on the Edessa.ai home page.
